The College Football Bowl season begins Saturday.

This season College Football offers 41 bowl games to be played over the next three weeks.

The Bowl season culminates with the National Championship Playoff game on January 11th. The playoff participants are #1 Clemson (ACC 13-0), #2 Alabama (SEC 12-1), #3 Michigan State (Big Ten 12-1) and #4 Oklahoma (Big-12 11-1).

This year’s playoff games are to be played on new year’s eve, and are sure to be excellent. The Orange Bowl in Miami Florida matches #1 Clemson vs. #4 Oklahoma. The Cotton Bowl in Arlington Texas matches #2 Alabama vs. #3 Michigan State. Each participating team won its respective conference. The only major conference not represented in this year’s playoff is the cannibalistic Pac-12. The Pac-12 winner Stanford (11-2) will play Iowa (Big Ten 12-1) in the Rose Bowl on new year’s day.

ALAMO BOWL The bowl season will give us many great match-ups. One of the best will be played January 2nd in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio Texas. It features the #15 Oregon Ducks (9-3) vs. #11 Texas Christian University (10-2). For Oregon fans this year has been a bit unsteady. At one point mid-way through the season, with the Ducks having a 3-3 record and their starting QB injured, fans were worried that the Ducks might not reach bowl eligibility. However the return of QB Vernon Adams to the starting line-up has led to six victories in a row, including an exciting 38-36 victory over Stanford. Oregon is now one of the hottest teams in college football. Like Oregon, TCU features a high powered exciting offense. The Alamo Bowl is predicted to be a wild west shoot-out.

Here’s the last Motivational video of the Duck’s season.
